Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 116: Believe My Act

Olivia's POV

Oh no.

I will be exposed.

This healer—he looked serious, with sharp eyes that made me nervous right away. I quickly wiped at my fake tears but kept my scared act going.

The triplets looked tense—like they'd just been caught doing something wrong. Louis quickly stepped forward.

"She just woke up," he told the healer. "She's confused. Please check her."

"She doesn't know who we are," Levi added, his voice sounding worried and tired. "She keeps asking for Gabriel."

Lennox muttered, "She's lying," but he didn't sound too sure anymore.

I kept my face innocent and afraid, but deep down, my heart was racing. What if the healer figured out I was pretending? What if he told them?

"Nervous now, huh?" my wolf laughed inside my head. "You really got yourself into this."

Be quiet, I told her.

The healer came closer and looked me in the eye. "Olivia," he said gently, "do you know where you are?"

I shook my head and let a tear fall. "No… These men say they're my mates, but I don't remember them. I want to go back to my husband."

The healer raised an eyebrow. "What's his name?"

"Gabriel," I answered right away. "He's the Alpha of the Shadow Pack."

Fuck! Of all names, why did I have to choose Gabriel? Maybe because he was the most realistic, and it will definitely fit for my plan.

The healer looked at me for a few seconds, then checked my head. He touched my temples and looked into my eyes.

"Do you have a headache?"

"A little," I whispered, "but I'm more scared than anything."

Levi flinched like that hurt him more than a punch.

The healer stood up slowly and looked at the triplets.
